The first comprehensive map of the dramatic changes that take place in the blood system over the course of the human lifetime could have implications for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and ...

A research team has discovered a mechanism in which blood stem cells respond to acute, severe anemia, through lipoprotein metabolism modification. It has been known how immediate erythroid precursors ...

Scientists from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have identified a key molecular trigger that facilitates a crucial step in the formation of red blood cells. The finding ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

The amino acid glutamine plays an unexpected role in erythropoiesis, the differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells into mature red blood cells. Ordinarily, glutamine is broken down by stem cells ...

Red blood cells are the most abundant cells in the body. It has long been known that when red blood cells break down or anemia occurs due to bleeding, the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) increases, ...

When people donate blood, stem cells in the bone marrow make new blood cells to replace what was lost. This stress can drive the selection of certain clones—groups of blood cells with a slightly ...

Anemia often goes hand-in-hand with multiple myeloma. Sometimes, the cancer causes the anemia. And sometimes, the cancer treatment does. But it's possible to resolve it and feel better. (Photo Credit: ...

Researchers from UC San Francisco have discovered blood stem cells in the lungs, disrupting a decades-old belief that new blood cells were only made in the bone marrow. Conventionally it was thought ...
